Dude!! Is that the same redness that was on ur plecos that died?! Post ur water params after testing... U may have to go ahead and treat the tank for bacterials and fungals both unless u end up having high nitrates as the culprit.All bleeding stops eventually...Comment

I thinks that fish is suppose to be red?
Are you doing water changes through a carbon bottle?
Double dosing Prime/Safe/Amquel+Plus?
The water lately has been high in chloramines/chlorine so large enough water changes right now without the above would kill fish instantly.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

Get your tap water tested, The tap in my area has been high in the above and I've been able to smell the change when it started and started running my water slower through the carbon bottle and backing it up with a dose of Amquel+plus700g Mini-Monster tankComment

If something is out of wack with your cycle because of a contaminant in the water, your nitrates and other params may be weird despite those water changes. I would still check 'em.Originally posted by tunedis95 View PostAll bleeding stops eventually...Comment

Looks to me like maybe ammonia. I would check that first. Plecos are very suseptable to it and may be the first ones to show signs. Even with the same water treatment they are always changing the amount of chloramines and other "sanatizers" they are adding to the water.
I always aheck. Learned that the hard way....Comment

Nitrate 20
Nitrite0
Hardness150
Alkalinity180
pH7.8
So Alkalinity is high and everything else is in range, and quiet below. What do I do BOx???? And like I said before the rest of the fish are healthy, and I have four females holding at the moment. Water temp is at 78*240 and 35 Cichlid tanksComment
